Museum Provenance

While muses for these small treasures inhabit our Butterfly Habitat Garden, their composition is directly inspired by collections in our National Museum of American History and our Freer and Sackler Galleries of Asian art.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or
inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

I've purchased many different sets of cloisonné boxes from Smithsonian Store in the past, and they never disappoint me. They're beautiful and make great gifts as a complete set or as individual pieces.

These attractive small boxes were used for gifts for acquaintances. They stay closed, are smooth on the inside and the cloisonné is very eye appealing. They can be used for pills or for several coins. I put a one dollar coin in each of mine. They were well received - an inexpensive gift for Bridge buddies.
